For a moment, Kotetsu kneels beside them. He stares down at the bloody bundle without really seeing it, his gaze distant and grim. He suddenly feels so, so old. He just buried a child who's name he doesn't even know.
He misses Kaede so, so much.
He turns away when Frisk does, but Kotetsu carries on to get up and pick up the shovel again. He's finishing the job. But it's only now that he's moving again that he realizes that Frisk spoke again. An what they said is...curious. The former hero tilts his head, staring at them thoughtfully as he leans on the shovel. "Ah...who do you need to apologize to?" Especially later on? Even if they mean the dead child's friends, it sounds like there are a lot of other things to express sympathy for besides the lack of a coffin.
Maybe it doesn't matter, but he doesn't actually want to "finish the job" that much, and so any distraction is a welcome one.
